I’m looking for a decent, preferably new sports car under 30-35k. Reliable is a must. Either manual or DCT with paddles. Civic Si, GTi, WRX, BR-Z, Elantra N. You don’t want anything with a turbocharger or German if you’re looking to make the smart financial decision. Your options are a new Miata or Subaru BRZ. Used I’d look at an old ...
Miata is the obvious answer. Nissan 350/370z. FRS/BRZ. if you compromise on the age you could swing a Porsche car. You can get a C6 vette if you play your cards right. If you don’t want a true blue sports car but just something fun there’s always the WRX STi and other hot hatches.
you could look into 2011-14 RT and SRT8 models, I’ve seen used listings under 30k. RT has the 5.7L hemi, SRT8 has the 6.4L hemi. 2011-14 gen uses a 5 speed auto transmission, i think there was a manual option but don’t know too much abt it. interior & tech aren’t great compared to newer models
The world of sports cars is absolutely insane right now, obviously. Finding a vehicle under $30k right now, you used to be able to find under $15k in certain cases. What is the absolute best FUN vehicle you can buy under $30k right now? JDM, muscle, whatever. Obvious answers are the 86/BRZ, Miata, etc. Bonus points for saying something else lol.
2 seat, rwd, independent suspension, available in convertible. Thats the basic recipe for traditional sports cars. Corvettes, vipers, s2000s, boxster, miata, etc. Those are all sports cars. An M3, while it might be faster on a track than some sports cars, or even feel better than some sports cars, is a GT by definition. Same with muscle cars.
The manual is very fun, having that much power in a lightish RWD sports car with an LSD is a blast. It's not the most sophisticated car but it's hard to beat for the price, especially when you compare other options in the same range. The LS2 manual cars came with the T56, LS3s got the updated TR6060 - both are good transmissions.
Available in RWD and AWD, 7 speed auto, 400hp stock, and all under a CPO warranty for 30k otd. The aftermarket for these is very good and is growing a lot since the VR30 is being placed in the new Zs. The twin turbo v6 is a lot of fun on the highway and back roads. It is a lot of fun and a really practical midsize sedan.
Depending on area you may be able to find a 440i or m240i. You didn't say new or used but here's a pretty good article from Car Gurus (applies if you're in the states). Might give you some ideas. Best Sports Cars Under $30k. BRZ/GR86, Miata. It’s like the exact cars that fit that description lol. Definitely Miata.
Honestly, I’ve test driven so many cars on my searches. I’ve owned a GTI, Miata, and now a BMW 328. Make a list of cars to consider and go test drive. Don’t deal with any salesman BS, just tell them you just started looking and are test driving. Don’t sit down and do numbers until you test drive them all and pick a favorite.
